The La Stella Philarmonic Society executed a programme of sacred music at St George’s Basilica in Victoria. The band, under the baton of Mro Noel Beck, interpreted a selection of sacred music which included classical compositions and three funeral marches penned by Mro Giuseppe Giardini Vella, Prof. Joseph Vella and Dr John Galea, who were conductors of La Stella Band during the past 70 years. During the concert, the band also premiered a new composition by Dr Galea, called Elegy – In memoriam Joseph Vella.
